Summary:
"Doing theology requires dissension and tenacity. Dissension is required when scriptural texts, and the colonial bodies and traditions (read: Babylon) that capitalize upon those, inhibit or prohibit "rising to life." The contributors in this book challenge the way Christian theology is currently done in the academy and the Western world"-- Provided by publisher.
